1.37 - 1.21 is the difference between GBP and dollar 24 June 2016 and today's date.When you know the war in Ukraine has hit oil prices but the UK has suffered more than most due to the fall in the value of the pound again the dollar following the Brexit vote on 23 June 2016 why do you pretend you don't?
1.11 - 1.04 is the difference between Euro and dollar 24 June 2016 and today's date.
Both currencies have weakened.
The pound was back within a penny of its pre 2016 dollar conversion rate as recently as May 2021, after Brexit had already taken place.
The suffering you speak of is minimal. The pound remains more valuable than the Euro. Unfortunately I'm not sure you're going to be able to explain how Brexit has caused the global petrol price crisis but you're welcome to try, or to pretend that it's not worth explaining because you don't know.
